Shriver stepped down from her job at American network NBC after
Schwarzenegger took over the political position in November (03), and while she
now does the occasional special, the brunette admits she misses her day job.

She says, "It has been difficult for me. That's the truth. I miss hanging
out with the people I worked with. That was my career. I was at home. So I've
tried to find a new home, and I haven't figured it out yet."

Shriver has also noticed that people treat her differently now she's
California's First Lady.

She explains, 'When people come up to you now it's with issues important
to them. (In response) I try to be optimistic. You've got to take a look at all
the good from whatever happens."
